Necro!

Mafia taught me to lie my ass off and never admit to anything, ever. Cop and tracker were both on me last night? Oh, I forgot to mention I'm a miller CPR doctor, my bad.

In post 20, Ümläüt wrote:Mafia has taught me that when everyone else is trying to tell me it's A, but it looks to me like it's B instead, probably it's A and I'm just an idiot.
On the other hand, Mafia has since taught me that sometimes it's better to be loud and wrong.

Reviving this yet again:

Mafia continues to teach me the importance of distinguishing between the loyal opposition and the enemy -- between people who want the same thing as I and disagree on how to get it, and people who actually oppose my goals.

I feel like this is a forgotten virtue in most discourse.
